I have that effect on people.

A scheduled appearance by vulgar rock-rapper Kid Rock at a Bush inauguration concert hosted by Bush daughters Jenna and Barbara has shocked conservative supporters.
The rapper’s lyrics often focus on the recreational nature of sex and send a message of female sexual exploitation. In 2000 he appeared in a porn film with well-known porn stars, and he was named the Sluttiest Male Celebrity by MTV.
According to Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association, the White House has sent a shocking statement to the millions of families who supported his re-election.
"Kid Rock is an inexcusable choice,” Wildmon said. "His music lyrics serve to teach our young men to disrespect women in a most vile, self serving manner. There's no compassionate conservatism in that philosophy.”
"Obviously, someone on the Presidential Inauguration Committee has made an extremely poor judgment call. The Committee should cancel this invitation immediately,” Wildmon said.
Kid rock was chosen to appear because he was a supporter of President Bush's re-election campaign.
Our troops really like KR, thats good enough for me and the hell with you whackjobs who think 'you' are the American people.
I have that effect on people.
Wow another post by F16Fighter where he only responds to part of the post... I'm not surprised....
That's because great minds think alike, lol! (I've read some of your posts on the topic. )
Kid Rock is into the country music scene now. He appeared in Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman" video.
They might grow out of it and might be ok for the most part but they sound more than a little spoiled to me.
This is why John Kerry and Al Gore came so close to being president. The "holier than thou" crowd scares away voters twice their number who would otherwise love to be conservatives.
Conservatism is being high jacked by a small minority (who fancy themselves as a majority) that believes that puritan virtues are all that matters. American sovereignty, property rights, protection of the 2nd amendment, high taxation, and the embracing of socialism are just small, peripheral issues to this group.
What really matters is that some "dirty" words are being said on TV and divorce is no longer considered a sin. Bush would haven't gotten at most 20% of the vote if he had publicly campaigned with this group's vision of America, yet they insist that they were the ones the "elected him".
"better that they are on our side ..."
Yes, but that doesn't obligate us, even politically obligate us, to invite them to perform.
Certainly Bush shouldn't choose the all the performers.
But people who reflect and care about Bush's, and his supporters', values should be able to VETO performances by inappropriate acts. And in fact should.
The deeper I delve into this thread the less likely I am to believe that there was any sarcasm in your post....
But that's no fault of yours.
If the F word is good enough for VP Cheney.....
I bow before you who obviously has led a pure and blameless life.
I'm in awe.
Get a doggone grip.
Just maybe people don't want to see trash like Kerry and his wife running this country.
And btw, if they were spoiled, Daddy would have saved the day on any run-ins but instead they faced the consequences. They aren't going to live off the family fortune either, but earn their own way. That does not qualify as "spoiled" in my world.
Your comment is sheer idiocy. I don't pretend to "own the base." I do claim to understand that much of the base would be highly offended to learn these things about an inaugural performer, if indeeed they're true.
You should also consult a dictionary so that you can understand the difference between "interests" and "values" or "beliefs." Not to understand the fundamental difference is to fall into the trap of Nietzschean nihilism -- something that any intelligent conservative ought to educate himself about.
It is good to see someone finally recognize their failings.
You mean I'm actually expected to respond to idiocy like this??:
"So what time is the messiah scheduled to show up to do his act?"
Simply pitiful.
Sorry, but to some here if you've EVER ever ever done anything wrong in your life or anything a little tasteless you are to be shunned for all time.
There's no hope of redemption in the minds of these (little) people.
